It is a well known fact that prescription drug addiction is the nation’s new drug epidemic and has some mental health officials baffled as to its cause. For drug rehab counselors working hands on in the addiction field it is no mystery. All drugs have a point of origin, when correlating the number of addicts entering treatment with the number of prescription drugs being distributed it’s not really hard to figure out. Recent studies show the biggest percentage of those abusing prescription drugs are teenagers. 

For years treatment professionals have known almost immediately what drugs of concern should be. Although there is a slight delay from distribution to treatment admission, the sequence is much quicker than scientific studies show. Addiction treatment professionals have known for years substance abuse starts early, often as young as 10-11. However the majority of addiction cases usually start between 12-17 years of age based on scientific studies.    Read more...

Question by Eazy: I really need help.!!!?
okay so im 17 years old and i kind of have a problem…ok i have a really bif problem. ever since i was about 13 i discovered masturbating. ive done it pretty much everyday since then sometimes up to 20 times a day. soon after i started it i noticed i started getting panic attacks/fears. All of a sudden i would be walking in the hall and just get very dizzy out of no where, also i get dizzy/lightheaded when im on the 2nd floors of buildings. i have cut down to 2 times a day but its REALLLY been bothering me with all the panic attacks i get, i cant even go on an escalator! i get this dizzy feeling that seems to radiate through my whole body, my hands sweat and my heart rate goes up and i get really warm. I believe this is all linked to my “masturbation addiction”. im about to start dating so i really want to get over this because how can i possibly go on a date to a mall that has multiple floors and escalators?! anyway does anyone else out there feel like this after they masturbate? I think this may be due to a release of adrenaline, almost every day i listen to my iPod and get pumped up for no reason other than i like the “adrenaline high” i get. i have also seen my doctor about this and he put me on Celexa (which helped for a week but gave me more anxiety/fears so i stopped it). ive also seen a pchyologist and she taught me breathing techniques which dont really help me. lol. PS im also not drinking/doing drugs or taking any prescription meds, also i havent drank caffeine in 2+ years. Thanks for all the help! i cant imagine living life again without panic attacks!    Read more...
